A-lister's review:
Can I say I hate more after hearing this entry? This is such a messy and amateur composition, I mean I can sorta live with the cheesy chorus and verses and while they sound like something from a children's show, there is something stupidly catchy (although I can barely understand what he tries to sing), but then the "rock-ish" breakdowns come in that don't fit at all and just gives you a headache on top of the childishness, it's such a bad match sonically. I can't believe Germany went from sending one of the most current Pop tracks in 2020 to this? I still don't understand how a big country like Germany can't send something more competent to the contest, the entry in its current form sounds like an ESC joke entry from the mid 00's. It's a bottom 10 for me and the only reason I rank some entries lower is because this at least has some sort of identity (not a particular good one, but still something), but with that said it's still a very bad song.

THE GOOD:
This entry by Germany sounds like a joke entry rather than a serious song. While it might attract some folks, it is a long shot as far as winning it all. This is an "I gave up" entry in my ears. If this song wasn't already in the Final, I don't think it would've qualified. While it is a happy-go-lucky song, this might be my bathroom break song. Maybe next year, Germans. 5 points
- This is a goofy entry.
- I like the ukulele.

He is lucky he is a sweetheart and legit fan of the contest.Sorry but how on earth can this be picked to Eurovision? This is the worst song of the year. I cannot stand the production, the melody and the lyrics.points.
Germany you can do better!
Oh and it does not hurt that he's handsome.
That is what I like about this choice for
.The biggest downgrade compared to last year for me. From a total bop in my personal top 3 to this.

Lienne took part in NDR's secretive internal selection

🇩🇪 Germany: LIENNE Revealed as Participant in Eurovision 2021 Selection - Eurovoix
LIENNE has revealed to ESC Kompakt that she was one of the artists that competed to represent Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021.

Ben Dolic definitely had a contemporary song, but absolutely zero charisma on stage. Jendrik's song is not for everyone, but he will show much more stage presence, I think. And when I look at myself, I listen to Jendrik's song quite much actually, more than any German entry of the past years. But we all know it's quite controversial and I understand everyone who doesn't like it.

this song was probably in the selection yet they didn't pick it.. seriously who are these people on the jury.. rejecting one of the actual artists in Germany with a very decent song that would be close to my top 10 for an artist and a song that is basically a joke and is my last place.. no words..

and before anyone responds with "this is boring" - I'd rather take boring, credible and something that would build the reputation of the contest in Germany than something that is memorable, but lacks any quality and will hurt the reputation of the contest..
Well May is approaching and this song has still not popped off on Tick-Tock as some people that voted for this had hoped. It's SURPRISINGLY not the next "Think about Things". Who could've seen THAT coming?!
I just hope this flops, so they won't repeat this.

Like Jendrik explains in the interview... they actually casted only well-known German artists or people from The Voice and other casting shows before he tried to apply via TikTok but I really wonder... who wants to hear them? I don’t get it. It would mean another Jamie Lee Levina Roman Lob song! These songs are anything but exciting. I‘m so bored of that pseudo-intellectual German pop music! It’s maybe what the German audience listens to but not Europe. I think we did have a chance with Ben Dolic who had a good song but I‘m sure he would not have delivered live.
So why back to the boring roots? I‘m so happy they were daring to send Jendrik. Why would we want to win? I don’t think Germany‘s biggest goal is to win the trophy. ESC and Germany are connected so deeply, it actually doesn’t matter what we send. We still have great viewing figures even if they went down a bit the past years, we are a permanent member and yes, I wish we would send something different so we won’t be last all the time. But it’s not because we‘re low in the ranking - it’s more like with what songs we‘re going last. Not the last place is to worry about but the song. Be courageous! Yvonne Catterfeld isn’t courageous. But to each their own!

My parents think Germany can win.....
Bless their optimistic souls!
As for myself, I hope we will end up somewhere between 15th and 20th place. The Juries won't give Jendrik many points, but I hope some televotes will!
